UMaine to host hazing research symposium

The University of Maine will host researchers from seven other universities for a two-day meeting to discuss hazing prevention research. The event is the culmination of the Hazing Prevention Consortium, a three-year research-to-practice initiative led by UMaine Professor of Higher Education Elizabeth Allan.

In addition to UMaine, the meeting will include representatives from the University of Arizona, University of Virginia, Cornell University, Lehigh University, University of Kentucky, University of Central Florida and Texas A&M University. The researchers will be reporting on results of evaluation projects related to hazing prevention as well as progress they’ve made in ending hazing on their campuses.

The symposium takes place June 14–15 at the Doris Twitchell Allen Village on the UMaine campus.
